(HELP!) Display driver NVIDIA windows kernel mode driver, version 347.25 stopped responding... ?!!

[Kennnt]

Hello all!
I've been getting this error daily on my brand new PC. My screen would turn black for 1 second then back to normal and I'll get the following error message:

"Display driver NVIDIA windows kernel mode driver, version 347.25 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

Any pros can advise what's happening and how I can fix this please? It's heartbreaking cos my PC is less than 2 weeks old!

Specs:
Core i5
8GB RAM
Palit GTX970 Jetstream
Win 7 Enterprise

Thank you!

I once couldnt run even any games on my laptop. Turns out to be a hard disk problem then I got it changed.

I mentioned about this issue in off-topic thread last week. just roll back to 347.09 drivers and you're good to go

Stick to 347.09 for all 900series card.

Hi all,
I've downloaded and installed version 347.09 driver and the error stopped for a few days..
Now it's back! Just got it a few minutes ago after I opened Guild Wars 2

Possibilities:
Driver failure: reinstall drivers, clean install.
If fail,
try different GPU, if no problems then main GPU may need RMA.
If fail,
PSU fault. RMA PSU.

worst case scenario = kns nvidia drivers damage your gpu liao.
nvidia known to be making gpu killer drivers.
that's why must always google see got problem or not first before updating drivers.

What PSU are you using, and is it also 2 weeks old like the rest of your PC? I suffered from this problem for months, turned out it was my PSU slowly deteriorating and dying.

Fixing the Nvlddmkm Error (Display driver stopped responding and has recovered)


Follow step 1 and 2. For step 3, do it after a week of testing "step 1 and 2"

Just did a clean install of 347.09 a few hours ago.. error surfaced again, this time when browsing HWZ forums! Not even playing any games

1. Reinstall drivers
2. Reformat PC
3. Send back to shop for repairs

Just got the error again... here's what i've tried:

1) clean install of 347.09 driver
2) set power to high performance, turned OFF pci express link power management
3) set physx to GTX970 instead of Auto
4) windows 7 update to service pack 1
5) set regedit TdrLevel to 8

Go format your OS HDD and reinstall os and old drivers and see if error still occur.

If Yes.

As above you should try to go RMA your GPU with distro.

Sigh.. called the PC shop and they ask me to install 344.60 driver instead.. but still same issue.

Seems like have to call Convergent tomorrow

Thanks all! Hope no one else facing this annoying and depressing error

Take out your graphics card from the pcie slot, use eraser clean the contacts, plug it back.
It worked for me.

Trying changing the Physx setting to CPU instead of Auto
I heard this "fix" works but generally a good number of 970 users are facing this problem. Gotta wait for Nvidia to release new drivers.
